Canadian aid to Palestinians may be on chopping block after UN vote

For bully boy Baird, international front man for the Harper Regime, to consider cutting off or freezing aid to Palestine is unadulterated, childish vindictiveness should he choose to follow through with such a threat (with apologies to children everywhere). How can such a wicked act be construed even remotely as a form of diplomacy? Want to invite the wrath of the world? Such an act might do it.

Contrast this diplomatic statement from the PLO: “The Palestinian Liberation Organization fully respects the votes cast by all member states in the General Assembly, irrespective of whether they were in favour of, abstained from, or were cast against the resolution.”
